I've got to hand it to Nicoll Public Relations. Not only do they represent a lot of our favorite manufacturers, like Meridian, B&W, and Silicon Optix, they're also responsible for supporting the press during our Home Entertainment shows, and YES, that basically means feeding us.

I made it to the press room very early (okay, I was first), but by 8:30, the place was buzzing and not a dry glass in the house by 9:00. Since the show hadn't actually started yet, the press did what the press do best when not facing a stiff deadline. They ate. That's in contrast to what they do when they are facing a stiff deadline. They drink!

Lucette and Sue, thanks for the great grub!
